During his detention and court proceedings, he was denied access to a lawyer of his choice. The court set a bail amount of 5 billion tomans ($120,000) for his temporary release, which his family could not pay. The Coordinating Council of the Teachers’ Union has reported that Navaei was coerced into making a forced confession.
